Welcome
to my blog and Pattie’s Creations Spring Blog Hop. The hop starts now and runs
until Sunday April 7th at 1 p.m. CST. If you have gotten here from Bettina's blog, then you are on the right track. If not, please head over to the
challenge blog and start from the beginning.

Each
of our lovely DT members were given a fabulous new image in Pattie’s store
called Rain Boots with Tulips. And boy have my team mates ever done up some
gorgeeeous projects to inspire you. We have 6 sponsors so there are lots of
prizes to be won. For a complete list of prizes and rules for the hop, head on
over to Pattie’s Creations Design Challenge Blog.

I
started out with some beautiful blue dp by Bazzil and then cut out two
squares of white metallic dp that I had in my stash using my Spellbinders Decorative Labels One. I coloured the image with
my Staedtler pencil crayons and oms and then cut out an oval of blue flowered dp (sorry, don't know the name as it was in my stash)with my
Spellbinders Floral Oval and put Pattie’s wonderful image in the middle of it.
The pearl and rhinestone swirls were from my stash.

About Me

Hello, my name is Charlene. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 26 years and I have 2 children. A boy 25 and a girl 21. I live on the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada...better known as the Wet Coast because of the amount of rain that we get.
I first started crafting when my son was in his second year of Beavers. My husband and I became leaders that year with 2 other wonderful people. I found that I had a nack for finding ways of making crafts for the Beavers to do that were cute but inexpesive. I moved on from Beavers into Guiding and followed my daughter through her 2 years of Sparks and Brownies and her first year of Guides. When she left I continued on for a few years. During this time I found that I loved making things by hand for people...so when I was introduced to making cards 3 years ago, I jumped into it enthusiastically. And I have never regretted it. Making cards has given me a creative outlet that not only lets me express myself, but allows me to give something to my family and friends that is truly unique.
